Floral
I am floral.
Boisterous.
Petals come to mind.
But also-
The weird hat in the back of my closet.
Gives me photos.
Mirrors that aren’t supposed to be mirrors.
Being free like a coupon.
Floating like a puddle.
I am floral.
The smell is like the smell of a speck of sand.
Nothing.
I am floral.
Petals

Brighten up the garden

Floral Paths of Summer
Flowery paths wildly intersect rich, late summer;
While beautiful flute music plays in green trees,
Amidst song so rife, without drumrolls of thunder.
In butterscotch ease, drift humming, honeybees.
While beautiful flute music plays in green trees;
The exotic blooms send pleasant fumes, far away.
In butterscotch ease, drift humming, honeybees;
With huge, tossed hibiscuses, in crimson disarray.
The exotic blooms send pleasant

Floral Gifts
ceiling-to-floor stone fireplace,
uplifted with Mother’s Day gifts:
amidst the painted flower trio,
sunny bright and purple mums,
yellow glad-iolus, ma-genta roses
in red-ribbed vase, hearth-right;
and butterscotch lantanas, on left…
now in a planter on the porch,
inviting hummingbirds and butterflies.

Floral Waterfalls
I thought to clip a rose
as I did, stopped to think,
would my clipped rose
be happy with a faucet
drink? A clipped rose
in a thermal made vase,
yet of glass pure sand remained,
I sensed, a blessed clear trace –
like sacred-core of a stone, like my
deeper earpiece, closer
to the bone, my personal
spirit-phone – a clipped
rose...by the window,

Courtisane in floral silk kimono
she wears it graceful and demure
parades in sophistication and elegance
her stance dignified and refined
her kimono feminine and stylish
she’s from nobility and opulence
regal and yet modest

Floral Farewell
Velvet red roses stand
cheek to cheek
with daisy faces, ringed
in petal fringes,
sweetly scented
by creamy bubbles
of double jonquil popcorn blooms
beside a starburst
yellow chrysanthemum,
and long leaves
squeezed between.
Below, their stem-straws blur
in the ribbed glass jar,
looped with a satin orange bow
for your 97 years
we must farewell soon.
The loved ones are visiting,
bringing flowers, hugs, reminiscences
for you, last of

Amethyst Floral Woman
Amethyst floral woman glided into the valley on Monday
We had heard she was coming two weeks ago Sunday.
Fragrance she brought with her was a wonderful scent.
We liked everything about her, her ambiance was an event.

A Floral Striptease
Take a walk with the honeybees,
wade into a wafting Spring breeze;
Relish pollen bringing a sneeze
floral strip tease, floral strip tease;
Swarming with hues I’m left in awe,
such pure beauty without a flaw;
Laughs return to an old seesaw;
A heart in thaw, a heart in thaw.

Handing you floral glass
Because I'm gifted with your vast confidence
Because the past makes a better present tense
Because all our trust was built on confidence
Because handing you floral glass represents
Because your presence relaxes me when tense
Because finding caring and believing in one another was no coincidence
It must have hurt when you felt my permanence
It's very hard to find someone

In Spring, A Floral Clock
In Spring, a floral clock
Time shows us.
Love's own love-flushed dial!
Fairest smile!
In Autumn, a pale-blown
Leaf's o'replus.
Age's own soured outlook!
Crinkled. Crook.

Skinny Floral Christmas Elf
Skinny floral Christmas elf with eyes so green
Your attitude and holly is totally and fully seen
We marvel at your body, so lithe and loose
You are skinnier than a wiped-out chicken goose.
Skinny floral Christmas elf with your attitude cute
We don’t know what to say, you are pretty couth.
We see your skip and hop and your limber

An Alliteration Floral Mess
The same sunny Sunday simply
Just was when the merry month
Of May came cruising cautiously
Colliding with a clear and conclusive
Nature every day I say we cheer
Forever everywhere do dare and
Care when all of nature is flagrant
Aroma we grow up the air is clear
The garden fragrance fully floral
Fortune fortress a flowerful
Pleasantries of
